February 25, 2010These past few weeks have been like night and day compared to the end of the regular season when it comes to Browns receiver Josh Cribbs. The media circus that came out of an apparent disagreement between the Browns and Cribbs’ representation has turned into more of a silent film. And it is the latter that apparently allowed both sides to gain more traction as reports are circulating that a new deal could be in place by this time next week.
The Plain Dealer is reporting that Cribbs’ agents will be in Indianapolis for the start of the NFL combine. It is here that the representatives hope to complete a deal for their client.
Last reports had the two parties approximately $5 million apart in terms of guaranteed money. The contract that was discussed was for considerably more money versus his current deal, with incentives being a large part.
Hopefully, as the Browns head into the NFL Draft in April, all contractual issues will be rectified and the team can focus solely on adding the pieces needed for the much-needed improvement.

Pay de man hees mah-ney.
I do like the incentives piece, however I feel like this story is becoming a he said she said whirlwind. Although annoying, I still can’t help but read it.
Scott, any thoughts on this getting done before free agency begins?
Only Cleveland fans would pay to have a billboard erected to say “Pay the man” I mean really, I guess the economy isn’t so bad after all. Either that or some people really have misplaced values because did anyone ever doubt that the Browns wouldn’t take care of Cry Baby Cribbs? He’s lucky I wasn’t the GM or team President that’s all I know.
“Scott, any thoughts on this getting done before free agency begins?”
Will be close. I know the goal is this weekend, so even if they’re off by a few days, it should be done by the 5th.
